icons, diagrams or logos. SVGs maintain
their quality regardless of its size, which
makes them a valuable tool for web

a lossless file type, which means that an
image maintains its quality no matter

format for photography. You can use TIFFs
for print images, but many people avoid
using them on the web due to their long
loading times. A lot of web browsers require
plug-ins to display TIFF files because of
their size.
